I have a computer that has 10.04 installed on it. When I download something off the internet, NotifyOSD displays to say the download is complete (Firefox is using NotifyOSD).

I'm using 11.04 on another computer. When Firefox finishes downloading something it displays the "Firefox notifier" that pops up in the lower right corner of the monitor to tell me the download is complete (firefox is NOT using NotifyOSD).

Can this be fixed? I'd like for Firefox to use NotifyOSD on 11.04 like it is on 10.04.

In summary - the maintainers of xul-ext-notify looks like they have abandoned the project. Canonical themselves will not support this integration. Thus unless someone steps forward, this capability will not be included in natty or future versions of Ubuntu.

:( Why won't Canonical support this integration? I LOVED the NotifyOSD notifications of when a Download completed.

'fraid I cant answer that - I dont work for canonical. The only thing I can suggest is to file this question on the canonical developers mailing list.

I've added my own two cents worth at bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/742475. (A note for the new to Launchpad: don't post "me too" comments unless you have something additional to add to the conversation. Just find the link at the top that says how many people it affects and add yourself if the issue affects you.)
